SS Brake Line Question
<center><img src="http://www.rpi.edu/~onksej/Audi%20Stuff/brake.jpg"></center><p>I'm looking to upgrade my brakes/lines in the future and noticed that everyone who has installed SS lines has zip ties around where the line feed throw the strut. I'm assuming then that no grommets are provided with the lines? I was curious if any knows:
1. Diameter of the SS brake line
2. Diameter of the hole? Or the dimensions if it isn't round.
I'm thinking about making/finding a grommet to use when I do mine. If anyone else is interested I'd be happy to keep you posted on what I find out.
TIA

Actually, the lines from ECS had the right fitting to go there. However, this is a Boxster upgrade
kit, and it did not. Also, the fitting ID is smaller than the fittings on the end of the hose, so you can't slip one on. You could make a two-piece keyed bushing, but $.15 in zip-ties works well too...

Here is the "correct" line, replacing the OEM line only, from ECS. As you can see, no zip-ties...

The hose fitting that connects to the caliper is different. I think you could use the TT one on the
Boxster caliper, but not the other way around. I got the Boxster lines with the calipers, so I took the TT ones off so I can sell them. Interested?
